After the 49ers started to roll, however, they had pretty good ball control.

They pulled up to a 28-27 lead with six minutes to go In the final period. Then Ben Agajanian kicked his third field goal of the day from the 17-yard line to put the Rams ahead, 30 to 28, with three minutes to gp. On the first play after the kickoff Quarterback Y. A. Tittle passed to Hugh McElhenny on the 49ers 20, and McElhenny wormed his way on a great broken-field run 71 yards before he was caught and knocked out of bounds on the Rams nine-yard line.

THE 49ERS then tried three line plays and made only a couple of yards. That set the stage for Boltau's game-winning kick. The first two Ram touchdowns earns on passes from Norm Van Brocklin to End Bob Boyd rrom the 22 and to End Elroy Hirsch from the two. Agajanian's first two field goals came from the 22 and from the 37. San Francisco got Into the scoring act Just before the half on a quarterback skull on the part of the Rams.

Holding 20-polnt lead with fourth down and one to go on his 28, Van Brocklin attempted to pass from punt formation. The pass was Incomplete, and the 49ers took over. Five plays later Tittle passed to End Billy Wilson for a touchdown. In ths third quarter San Francisco scored from the 11 when McElhenny tossed an underhand pass to Joe Perry for a touchdown, but the Rams came right back with a 90-yard touchdown march that ended with Tank Younger smashing over from the one. THE THIRD 49er touchdown was set up when Van Brocklin fumbled and Lowell Wagner recovered on the Ram 20.

On the third play Perry powered 11 yards through tackle for the TD. The 49ers took the lead for the first time when Rex Berry inter San Francisco 40ers next week could be fatal.
